Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[David Lockmiller]

Eva, I wanted to know if you are going to provide an analysis of the relationship of William S. Wood and Mary Lincoln, wife of the President of the United States, sometime soon.

Eva, you responded: "David, in my post I already gave the answer:"

I've never read this, nor expected such. Would you believe such ("possibly more") ever happened? In other words: Did Mary ever have an affair or was seriously "in danger of"? What was (in your opinion) her mindset like in this regard?

Eva, I did not write those words in my posting of 11:24 AM yesterday. You wrote those words in your posting 103.

I just asked her if she found anything to suggest a "meaningful" relationship with Mrs. Lincoln. She emphatically said, "NO!" There were references to their being friends, but nothing deeper.

Eva, you wrote: "Thanks Laurie. David, you make a relationship out of "possibly more", so far nothing but a baseless rumor, without giving any proof!"

Eva, you are the one that suggested the possibility of an affair between the two of them, not me. Roger Norton provided YOU with Lincoln scholar reference material on the question.

Laurie said in her posting 123 that she would help you with your analysis on the subject matter.

I look forward to reading the results of your joint efforts.
